Funny thing about birthdays. Everyone always calls and writes telling you to have a happy birthday. People make a big deal about birthdays. People will even go so far as to purchase funny looking hats, noise makers, fireworks, pastries, and the like to celebrate someone else's birthday but the one actually havingthe birthday rarely gets to enjoy it! They spend all day hosting people and having to keep up activity for the whole day, not getting to relax. :)
On a different side...whenever people wish me a happy birthday I always wish them one as well, to which the response is usually "but it's not my birthday!" But what good are birthdays if you can't share them with others? So to all those who choose to wish a hapy birthday, happy birthday to you as well!

The first of many
ALRIGHT! So we've finally moved into the 21st century and we have a blog! I worry about this because now there's a venue for all of my dirty laundry to be aired out in cyperspace but at the same time it's a great way to keep those of you who actually care apprised as to the happenings for la familia Vaughn.
ANYWAY...We went down to South Texas to visit family for a few days just before Christmas and it was pretty cool. However, for the first time for me, specifically, it didn't feel like home anymore. I'm not really sure why that is, but that's the way of it and that's the way it is and that's the way the cookie crumbles and that's the way uh-huh uh-huh I like it uh-huh uh-huh.
Then, after a 12-hour drive, most of which was in freezing rain, back to Monticello we rested for the night then made a 9-hour excursion to Northeastern Mississippi to visit Regina's family. It is enjoyable as always but neither does this feel like home. However, I'm not really sure what home feels like anymore because WE'RE NEVER THERE!!!!! In any event, I'm ready to go home. Home doesn't feel like home either but it's closer than anything we have right now so I'll take it.
I'm so ready to move on to the next, and hopefully last, step in the whole self-definition thing. Regina just graduated a couple weeks ago and I have about 3 semesters left...then we're off to grad school. But to study what? Who knows? I just know that I want to do either instrumental conducting or composition and Regina wants to do either Music History or performance. Real decisive huh? Oh well.
I'm excited over where we are spiritually but aggravated because I know we could be doing so much better than we are. The nice thing is that I have hit that place where I no longer have the desire to commit sin. Sounds kind of lame and very elementary for some but it's a big deal for me. I think Regina lives there which makes it so much easier for me. And of course the children stay there...:) Ah to be pure like a child.
Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and wrap this up but we'll add to it before too long.
Pieces out!
